Tantric Massage Tips

Tantra massage is a very, very special kind of massage, almost unique. It’s not readily available just everywhere because it takes a certain kind of specialization. The professional who provides such massage services must be a master of the basic and advanced principles of Tantra and meditation. The massage session must begin with ancient Tantric rituals and a time of meditation in order to focus on the Chakras and the spiritual link with the entire universe.

You must always keep in mind that this kind of massage is not meant to work the muscles and drive fatigue away, but to awaken the hidden mystic energy at the bottom of your spine and bring your body and spirit in complete harmony with the universe. If you’re planning to use music, then you should take the trouble to find some that has been designed to go along with meditation and Tantric massage. Such records are rare, but nonetheless available for sale. Some chill-out songs are also good, but it takes experience to identify the suitable ones.

Tantra massage makes use of light, sensual and slow strokes that can channel energy and increase the body’s sensitivity to a different reality. You may wish to apply some medium pressure along the sides of the spine in order to make your massage effective, but otherwise confine yourself to light pressure and to the movements inspired from the way energy flows through the body and especially the classic movement upwards from the base of the spine. A lot of skill and an intimate knowledge of your inner energy are required before even thinking to attempt Tantric massage.

Any kind of oil, lotion or crème goes along great with this massage, but you would do well to stay away from scented oils because they may draw unwanted attention to earthly things. Meditation and music are the only things you need for this kind of massage. Tantric massage can also be used to call forth the healing energy of the body in order to help people recover faster from injuries or illnesses. Couples can try Tantric massage in order to increase their intimacy and to create strong emotional bond between the two partners by building love, tenderness and trust instead of sex.
